Had a somewhat odd thing happen today. I took back a 1 1/2 inch scraper to the store I had bought it from. The issue was it was magnitized from the day I bought it. It drove me crazy using it because it slightly stuck to the toolrest. The folks at the store were helpful, but had never run across this problem before. They offered to exchange it, but the only one they had in stock had the same problem. They even called their distributor and all of there stock had the same problem with the scrapers. Odd to say the least!
I really don't want to bash the manufacture or the store because I am sure things will be worked out. I just really find it odd that a batch of tools was made and they are all magnetic.
One of the salesmen did bring up an interesting question. He wanted to know if the magnetism had transferred over to my toolrest. I had to tell him I didn't think so, but I really didn't know. I'll have to check first thing in the morning.
anybody else run across a similar problem?
